Remember that if you make purchases on the same card, your payments will be credited toward the balance with the lowest interest rate. So the 0% balance will drop with each payment, but the 10+% balance will rise with every purchase.

You need to be very careful with these things.

Yeah, I know. I've played teaser rates for years on cards, to get low interest credit (back in the days when I had debt ;). I can read the fine print with the best of them. I have never seen zero interest, zero fees.

I have seen (still one on my desk now) zero interest, 3% fees, or 3% interest, zero fees, but not both zero.

I doubt such exists, or if it does exist, then they have found some other way to -ensure- that they get paid, not just hope you trip up and leak money to them.
